Modalities of Constituency Bursary Fund Allocation & Their Effect On
Journal of Administrative Sciences and Policy Studies, Vol. 1 No. 1, December 2013 49 Modalities of Constituency Bursary Fund Allocation & Their Effect on Access and Retention in Nairobi County Saina Shadrack Kiprotich1 Introduction 1.1 Background to the Study The provision of quality education in Kenyan has been a central policy issue since we attained independence. This has been due to governments’ commitment to provision of quality education and training as a basic human right for all Kenyans in accordance with the new constitution and the international conventions. Secondary education policies have evolved over time with the Government addressing challenges facing education sector through several commissions, committees and task forces. Immediately after independence, the first commission chaired by Ominde, in 1964 sought to reform the education system inherited from the colonial government to make it more responsive to the needs of the country. The Report of The presidential Working Party on the Second University chaired by Mackey, led to the replacement of A- Level secondary education with the current 8-4-4 education system (GOK, 1964; 1981 & 2005 and IPAR, 2008). In the recent past, Kenya’s education sector has undergone accelerated reforms in order to address the overall goals of economic recovery strategy for Employment and wealth creation 2003- 2007 (ERS) as well as meeting the international development commitments, including the millennium development Goals (MDGs) and Education for ALL (EFA). The major reforms include: launch and implementation of the Free Primary Education (FPE) in January 2003, development of the Sessional paper No. 1 of 2005 on policy framework, which advocate that the government is already implementing measures on how to improve access and retention in secondary education and introduction of Free Day Secondary Education in January 2008. -

Party Politics and City Governance in Nairobi
PARTY POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE IN NAIROBI Samuel O. Owuor1 Paper Presented at the GDRI Governing Cities in Africa Conference Stellenbosch University, 30 November – 2 December 2009 Introduction Nairobi is probably one of the largest and best-known cosmopolitan African capital cities. Nairobi was first established in 1899 as a transportation and administrative centre, which later grew to become the capital of Kenya and a city. It is by far the smallest administrative province in Kenya, but also the most important in terms of employment, socio-economic activities and functions it performs. Apart from being the capital city of Kenya, it is the largest urban centre in the country, a regional hub in East and Central Africa, as well as the headquarters for many international and regional organizations.2 The present administrative boundary covers an area of 686 km2 expanding from 3.84 km2 in 1910. According to the 1999 Kenyan population census, Nairobi had 2,143,254 inhabitants representing about 38% of the total urban population in Kenya, with an annual growth rate of 4.8% (Bocquier et al 2009). The population of Nairobi is currently estimated to be 3.36 million inhabitants (UN- HABITAT 2008). Being a capital city, Nairobi will continue to influence the country, especially its immediate catchment areas and districts. Specifically affected are Athi River, Ongata Rongai, Ngong, Ruiru, Thika, Limuru, Kiambu, Kitengela and Kiserian, which are today functionally part of Nairobi city and add 20% more to the province’s population (Bocquier et al 2009). Given the importance of Nairobi, sustainable and inclusive city governance is a key component in its future growth and development. -
Putting Down Roots Belonging and the Politics of Settlement on Norfolk Island
Putting Down Roots Belonging and the Politics of Settlement on Norfolk Island Mitchell Kenneth Low B.A. (Hons) University of Western Australia, 2004 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Social Sciences (Anthropology and Sociology) 2012 Abstract In this thesis I theorise emergent nativeness and the political significance of resettlement among the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty in the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island (South Pacific). Norfolk Islanders are a group of Anglo-Polynesian descendants who trace their ancestry to unions between the mutineers of the HMAV Bounty and Tahitian women. Norfolk Islanders’ ancestors were resettled from their home of Pitcairn Island to the decommissioned, vacant, penal settlement of Norfolk Island in 1856. Since this date, members of the Norfolk community have remained at odds with state officials from Britain and Australia over the exact nature of their occupancy of Norfolk Island. This fundamental contestation over the Island’s past is the basis of ongoing struggles over recognition, Island autonomy and territoriality, and belonging. Using a combination of qualitative research conducted on Norfolk Island and extensive historical and archival research, I present an ethnography of belonging among a highly emplaced island population. One of the central problems in conceptualising Norfolk Islanders’ assertions of belonging is that Norfolk Islanders not only claim Norfolk as a homeland, but members of this community have at times declared themselves the indigenous people of the Island. With respect to recent anthropological theorisations of indigeneity as relationally and historically constituted, I consider the extent to which concepts such as ‘native’ and ‘indigenous’ may be applicable to descendants of historical migrants. -
